I didn't take the implementation from any of the MD5 sources lying  
around, I did a "clean room" build from the RFC's description.   
(They're all byte-wise, while mine is bit-wise [the only one,  
AFAIK].)  I did use the RFC's sample code to get the values of the  
various constants.  Do I need to have some sort of licensing with the  
RFC board; aren't they free for all?
